"Oh, so you're the J-pop fan," Puck surmised, looking up from his terribly exciting computer fun and smiling. "Hey. I'm Puck. And how can you be bored? There's like a million new kids. You should still be recovering from them."
"What was there to recover from?" she asked, wrinkling her nose cheerfully in assent to his guess about her musical tastes. "I've been to loads of picnics and it's the new kids that need the down time more than I do."
"I had a busy day," Puck decided. He hadn't. "So many new kids to talk to. Plus I might have sunstroke. I was out without a shirt all day." He tried to look terribly pathetic. It didn't really work.
"And you look like the sort that'd be just fine without a shirt." Ino had eyes and he had a fine body. "You'll get no sympathy from me, especially not when I was without a shirt for a good bit."
Well. Until Zack and her had disappeared from the picnic because they had more important things to do. Like kissing. Mmmm.
"Stupid silent redhead stealing my attention." It was more Elena's fault than Ariel's that he hadn't noticed, but he was kind of okay with that. Sometimes some things were more important. "Don't suppose I can talk you -- or any of these other mythical topless girls -- into a repeat performance?"
"Probably not," she said, eyes sparkling. And absolutely never going to tell him she'd been shirtless but with a bikini top on. "Not 'less you catch me at the beach or somethin'. Got a boy," Ino explained, "carries 'round a six foot sword everywhere. Wouldn't want him annoyed with you."
Please, Zack was more likely to flail and spaz than get angry, but still.
"Awww, dammit. If you hadn't said the part about the sword," Puck sighed, "I could've taken him. But swords as big as me kind of negate what I can do with my fists, right?"
Otherwise known as the room perky Japanese music sometimes got blared from. Shhhh.

No. That's not training, honey.

Seriously not. Zack had managed to win a war almost on his own.
